I think part of being an addict is the "here and now" attitude. I am trying so hard to get past that..like weight, it wasn't put on over night. Moving through addiction isn't something that is going to relieve itself. I need to actively work at it and know it's not going to happen overnight.. But the addict inside has zero patience. I hate that about myself..and of course I want to change it..immediately. Even though I'm trying to stop one addiction, it's like others are in place resulting in a whole new mindset that is so foreign to me..
Does anyone have any words about changing the mindset and developing patience..? I was told awhile back by a family member that's known me my whole life that I've NEVER been patient.. So I've got that working against me too..ha..developing patience is probably going to be key to my recovery if I can make it through this detox.
Cheers.
